However, the reports* called on the scientists to avoid any such allegations in the future by taking steps to regain public confidence in their work, for example by opening up access to their supporting data, processing methods and software, and by promptly honouring freedom of information requests. * Archana Venkatraman, "Data Without the Doubts". Information World Review 4. Andrew Wakefields study, linked the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine to autism. Vaccination rates in the developed world plummeted after the studys publication and a heated anti-vaccination movement persists today. 5. http://www.cfr.org/interactives/GH_Vaccine_Map/#map 6. ? 7. Science has lost its way, at a big cost to humanity Researchers are rewarded for splashy findings, not for double-checking accuracy. So many scientists looking for cures to diseases have been building on ideas that aren't even true. A few years ago, scientists at the Thousand Oaks biotech firm Amgen set out to double-check the results of 53 landmark papers in their fields of cancer research and blood biology. The idea was to make sure that research on which Amgen was spending millions of development dollars still held up. They figured that a few of the studies would fail the test that the original results couldn't be reproduced because the findings were especially novel or described fresh therapeutic approaches. But what they found was startling: Of the 53 landmark papers, only six could be proved valid. http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-hiltzik-20131027,0,1228881.column#axzz2ix1w9zGf 8. A special challenge for science writers covering research today arises from sciences growing credibility problem. It stems from the cumulative effect of errors and exaggerations that has fueled a recent rise in retractions, misconduct, and fraud among peer-reviewed researchers. For reporters covering major scientific developments from the search for alien life and genomics, to particle physics, climate change and cancer it can be difficult to distinguish error from fraud, sloppiness from deception, eagerness from greed or, increasingly, scientific conviction from partisan passion. Findings in fields from climate change to vaccines can also be deceptively cherry-picked in service of a political cause. 9. trust evidence 10. trust documentation 11. trust confidence 12. trust reproducibility 13.

Even though [a] melting point can be measured accurately, its prediction has been a notoriously difficult problem. 37.
